that was a long drive to indy in pain--

well i went to indy my hubby took me and that was the longest trip ever i was in soo much pain it was unreal-we finally get there i go into the er they knew i was coming so was prepared for me-they got me in a room stuck me several times to get blood and start a iv-oh they were so nice there they gave me a shot of morphine and something for nausea too through the iv which really helped to a extent-they did a cat scan i had to drink 2 ounces of orange sweet stuff that came back ok so they admit me up to bariatric floor (they were crowded up there to) they gave me 4 bags fluid-1 bag of bannana juice? she said it was vitamins but called it bannana juice because it was yellow-1 bag of potassium and something else for stomach next day dr evanson did my scope he said my ulcer grew from 6 mm to 10 mm and was bleeding so therefore he said he wants to redo a scope in 2 months and go from there? im home feeling better got slight headache but okay-

I'm glad your feeling a lil better now. Did he give you carafate?

i have been on carafate since day 1 i didnt always take it faithfully but i did take it atlease 2 times a day-also on prevacid-im in some pain again im trying hard to deal with it but it really does hurt-

Well yuck for you!!!  I am glad you are home though...Dr C told me when ever in doubt of what might be wrong come to HER Hospital.. St V and they will take good care of me.. I believe it!! Especially since they knew exactly what to do with you!! Never go to Hendricks County.. they dont know what Bariatrics  needs.. like FLUIDS>>>  after dinner I started getting the chest pains again... hope mine arent twisting again... this summer she did a Lap and seperated my intestines.. Could be an ulcer.. the stress I am under at work is not to be denied!! Linda Kay
